Volume 1 Chapter 152 Crisis
Li Mu pouted and nodded, and said secretly in his heart, "I have to calculate it this time, don't be ashamed again." β
Huo Zhixia saw that Li Mu seemed to really plan to jump at four hundred zhang, so he said, "If you can jump to four hundred zhang, I will give this to you!" As he spoke, he took out a larger jade plaque with a dignified "Huo" written on it.
When everyone around heard this, they all gasped.
"Is this Miss Huo family serious?"
"It should be, but it's only four hundred feet...... It's impossible!"
"Hehe, so this kind of unreachable apple, taking it out is to show superiority. β
The moment Li Mu saw the jade card, he understood Huo Zhixia's careful thoughts, and pouted, "I'm not interested, you can take it back." β
Without waiting for Huo Zhixia to speak, the onlookers behind him scolded.
"Don't be ignorant!"
"If you can't jump, you say you can't jump, what kind of pretending to be high!"
"Shame on the face!
Li Mu didn't expect that just a brief refusal attracted ridicule.
Seeing this, Huo Zhixia cleared his throat and said, "Master Li, let's do it, if you can jump farther than me, I will give this to you." β
Li Mu chuckled and stopped responding. Kicking the ground with both feet slightly, the whole person suddenly jumped out, and secretly said in his heart, "This strength should be fine......
But after only a moment's effort, Li Mu's complexion changed, and he shouted, "!
With a "bell", Li Mu hit the wall when he was still about a dozen feet away from the ground.
After sliding to the ground, he got up and covered his nose and said, "Hiss...... I knew it earlier...... I'm going to do it a little harder!"
And the eyes of the people behind him were staring out, and the whole audience could hear the pins falling.
The gold list sounded at the right time, and a golden light hit Li Mu's back, Li Mu turned around and saw the results on the ground, rubbed his red and swollen nose and said, "Alas! It's a loss!
I didn't wait for the examiner to announce the results for a long time, but I still heard the movement of the gold list.
On the gold list, Li Mu's name soared all the way, surpassed Huo Zhixia, and stopped at the first place.
The examiner was stunned for a long time before he opened his mouth and shouted, "Li Mu, four...... Four hundred zhang......! 300,000 quenching stones!"
"Three...... Thirty...... Wan! I heard you right!"
"No, it's 300,000! He's really jumped to 400 feet!"
"Unbelievable!
Then the people relieved themselves and discussed.
Seeing this, Lin Fengyu clenched his fist with a loud sound, and when everyone was talking, he walked to the examiner's side, took back his jade card, and walked away.
Everyone didn't notice Lin Fengyu's actions at all, but Huo Zhixia saw this scene with a proud face.
"Miss, why are you so happy, it's not that you jumped four hundred feet. Dong'er asked.
"I don't know what's wrong, I'm very happy to see the people of the Ji family deflated!"
Li Mu slowly walked to the examiner, took the reward, looked at the jade plate in his hand, and casually threw it to Huo Zhixia and said, "Thank you, it saved me a lot of time." β
Huo Zhixia took the jade card and said, "Then this is for you!" said and threw the larger jade card in his hand to Li Mudao, "You will be my Huo family ...... in the future."
Halfway through the sentence, he saw Li Mu raise his hand and pull the jade card back, staggered two steps, and after catching the jade card, he said angrily, "Li Mu!
"Again, I'm not interested. Li Mu dropped a sentence and walked towards the cloud ladder with the Lu family brothers and sisters.
Lu Tiantian was secretly delighted, took the jade card in Lu Jun's hand, walked up to Huo Zhixia, rudely stuffed it into her hand and said, "Did you hear it! Brother Mu said that he was not interested in you, you can save it!"
After speaking, he quickly ran towards Li Mu.
Huo Zhixia crushed the three jade plates in his hand, panted, and glared at Li Mu angrily.
Seeing this, Dong'er approached Huo Zhixia and asked, "Miss, do you want to ......?"
"No!" Huo Zhixia said to stop, "Without the protection of my Huo family, and offended the Ji family, I think he can last a long time?"
......
After Li Mu and his party entered the cloud ladder, Lu Tiantian ordered the first floor.
"What is this for? No?" Li Mu asked suspiciously.
"No, we're going up, you can't go up. Lu Tiantian tilted her head and said.
"Why?"
"Because everyone only has two qualifications per day, and it will only be refreshed when it is over. Lu Jun explained.
"Then I'll just wait on the fourth floor to refresh, then there will be fewer people. Li Mu said that he was about to press the button on the fourth floor.
"You can't wait. Lu Tiantian smiled sweetly, "Every day, the people here will be cleared, and the door will be closed at the end of the day, and it will not be opened again until the next day." β
"Is there anything like this?" Li Mu said indignantly.
"Otherwise, how can those industries outside do business? Lu Jun also smiled, "Especially that flower street, it is overcrowded every night!"
"Brother, do you want to go!" Lu Tiantian said angrily.
"No! No! Don't talk nonsense!" Lu Jun denied three times.
Lu Tiantian gestured with her small fist and said, "If you let me know that you have been there, you will not be able to do your best for the rest of your life!"
Lu Jun scratched his head and muttered, "Don't be so ruthless." β
While a few people were talking, the ladder had reached the first floor.
"Brother Mu, you go back and wait for us first, we'll be back soon!" Lu Tiantian waved his hand.
Li Mu waved his hand, answered and left.
Not far away, there were two people sitting, one was Ji Liangping, who had just been ridiculed by Li Mu on the second floor, and the other was an elderly man.
"Little boy, is that him?" the old man asked.
"Hmm!" Ji Liangping gritted his teeth and nodded, "How about the things I asked you to arrange?"
"It's all ready, it's time to serve. The old man said meaningfully.
"I had already heard that those two ingredients were going to go up to the fourth layer of impact, so I had already arranged the hunter on the fourth layer. Ji Liangping took a sip of tea and returned meaningfully.
"Fortunately, the fourth floor is the territory of the Ji family, otherwise it would be really difficult to do it. The old man also took a sip of tea.
"Hmph, this is God help me!"
"But, little boy, don't you really need to report to the head of the family? I'm afraid ......."
"What are you afraid of! If Dad blames him, I will bear it!"
"You can use the seventh layer without permission, if you let the Huo family know, I'm afraid it's not so easy to prevaricate. β
"It's okay!
Li Mu didn't know that someone was planning all this, and walked home leisurely.
When I came to the newly bought house, I looked at the door and thought to myself, "I always feel like something is missing." He looked left and right to understand, and said with a secret smile, "It turns out that there is no plaque, no wonder I feel the shortcomings and momentum." β
Li Mu bought a plaque in the bazaar, returned to the door, hung the plaque, thought for a moment, took out the feather hunting knife, jumped slightly, twisted his wrist, sawdust flew, and after a while, carved three majestic characters, "Red Dust House".
"It's kind of a reminder of this boring life. Li Mu smiled bitterly, remembering Wang Yuxi, who was still wrapped in the building wood, couldn't help but touch his stomach, and muttered, "When I go out, I don't know if you can wake up." β
......
Huo Zhixia took Dong'er back to Huo's Mansion listlessly, and met Steward Huo when he entered the door.
"Miss, what's wrong, why is your face so ugly?" Steward Huo asked with concern.
"Not really. Huo Zhixia casually said a perfunctory sentence and walked towards the main hall.
Steward Huo was confused and looked at Dong'er.
Dong'er stuck out her tongue and said, "Miss won't let me say it." After that, quickly follow Huo Zhixia.
Steward Huo shook his head helplessly, closed the door, and followed Huo Zhixia into the main hall.
"Zhixia, you're back. Huo Zhengqi, who was sitting on the upper seat, saw Huo Zhixia enter the door and said casually.
"Hmm. Huo Zhixia replied casually with a weak voice, and sat down casually.
Seeing this, Huo Zhengqi got up and walked in front of Huo Zhixia, and asked with concern, "My little ancestor, who upset you?" Is it that stinky boy from the Ji family!"
"No! Ji Wenbin is not so bold as to dare to provoke me!" Huo Zhixia said angrily.
"Hehehe, I'll just say, this marriage day is coming, how can he make you angry. Huo Zheng laughed angrily, "Who is that?"
"A stinky boy named Li Mu!" Huo Zhixia gritted his teeth.
"Li Mu?" Huo Zhengqi looked up at Steward Huo in shock, and Steward Huo spread his hands helplessly.
"Yes! It's him! Relying on his high Dao power, he didn't take me seriously!" Huo Zhixia slapped the table and got up.
Huo Zhengqi smiled awkwardly, "Zhixia, what happened, why didn't I take you seriously?"
"I'm going to give him the Huo family's jade card today, and I want him to be our guest, but who knows, he actually refused in front of so many people!" Huo Zhixia said this, angrily kicking over the table, chair and bench on the side, "And twice!"
"Oh, there is such a thing?" Huo Zhengqi turned back to the upper seat and said.
"Dad, you don't seem to be angry at all!" Huo Zhixia noticed that Huo Zhengqi's tone was wrong, and turned his head and asked.
"Oh? no! I'm very angry!" Huo Zhengqi patted his thigh and pretended to be angry, "How can this be reasonable!
Huo Zhixia's eyes narrowed slightly, and he walked close to Huo Zhengqi, staring directly at Huo Zhengqi's eyes.
Huo Zhengqi's heart was furious when he was watched, and his body leaned back slightly, "Zhixia, why are you looking at your father like this?"
"Dad, do you know this Li Mu!" Huo Zhixia squinted.
"Ahh......h......h Let's get acquainted. β
"You really know!" said, how did you know?" Huo Zhixia asked with a look of expectation.
"That's ......" Huo Zhengqi briefly said Li Mu's matter in the Huo family's hall.
"What! shattered the force measuring column!" Huo Zhixia was shocked.
When Dong'er heard this, she covered her small mouth with an incredulous expression.
"No wonder he dares to ignore me so much, it turns out that his strength is so strong!" Huo Zhixia suddenly realized, and after thinking for a while, he walked towards the gate.
"Zhixia, why are you going?" Huo Zhengqi asked with some concern.
"I'll meet him again!" Huo Zhixia dropped a sentence and left.
Steward Huo strolled forward and said, "Family master, do you want to bring the young lady back?"
"No need, if she wants to toss, just toss, as long as I don't open my mouth, it won't be considered that the Huo family wants to win him over. Huo Zhengqi patted the handrail and said.
"But if the young lady does something out of the ordinary, I'm afraid she will offend that kid. β
"You want to talk about that kid from the Ji family!" Huo Zheng was angry and understood Steward Huo's thoughts, and said, "Don't worry, no, Zhixia acts in a measured manner." β
"It's the subordinates who are too worried. β
"Speaking of the Ji family, what is the name of the loser who offended Li Mu?"
"Ji Liangping!"
"Oh, yes, it's him, how did I hear that he wants to use the seventh layer to select people in the past two days?" Huo Zhengqi said with his eyes slightly closed and his neck moving.
"Well, I've heard about it too, but in the past few days, except for that genius Lin Fengyu who was recruited by him, I haven't heard that he has recruited anyone, which is really strange. Steward Huo shook his head and wondered.
"Alas...... I hope it's not used for lynching!Otherwise, this woman Ji Meiru won't be able to protect him!" Huo Zhengqi sighed.
"The seventh layer is not allowed to use lynching, this is the consensus of the Ji family and the Huo family, and in order to prevent lynching, the two families take turns to take charge according to the agreement, since Ji Liangping is the concubine of the Ji family, he naturally knows this, and it should have other uses. β
"This is exactly what I'm worried about, the Ji and Huo families have been here for tens of thousands of years, and they have long been accustomed to such stereotypes, and they are afraid that someone will take advantage of our mental fatigue of this kind of thing to make a fuss. β
"Could it be that the head of the family already knows the inside story. β
"Hehehe, let things ferment and ferment again, and when it gets out of control, you will naturally know. β
......
Li Mu waited in Hongchen Ju until Hai Shi, but he didn't wait for the Lu family brothers and sisters to come back, he became anxious, and was about to go out to find Feng Niang to ask about his whereabouts, when a dark shadow broke into the room from the window and nailed it to the wall.
"Who!" Li Mu immediately rushed out of the window to investigate, and found that there was nothing suspicious except for the passing crowd.
Back in the room, Li Mu opened the envelope nailed to the wall, opened the envelope and took out the stationery, and wrote, "If you want to see that pair of brothers and sisters, Zishi, the seventh floor of the Infinite Pagoda is waiting for you, if you don't come, I will send their bodies here tomorrow!" Lin Fengyu. β
Li Mu pinched the letter paper in his hand, slammed it to the ground, and shouted angrily, "Lin Fengyu!"
